Rush Limbaugh To Move To WSB Atlanta

Cox Media Groups’ News/Talk
WSB is making a series of changes to its weekday programming schedule. Effective Oct. 1, 2012, “The Rush Limbaugh
Program,” America’s highest rated national radio talk show, will be heard
weekdays from noon until 3 p.m. on CMG’s flagship station, Atlanta’s 95.5FM and
750AM News/Talk WSB.

“Rush is America’s No. 1 talk show, and it’s fitting that he
will be on the No. 1 news/talk station in America,” said Ben Reed, Vice
President and Market Manager for CMG Atlanta.
“With Rush moving to News/Talk WSB, the Neal Boortz Show will now air
from 8:30 a.m. until noon.”

News/Talk WSB also announced that it and Sean Hannity have
entered a long-term agreement keeping WSB as his Atlanta home. Hannity is one of the most influential
political commentators in America and is host of the most watched news and
information program on the Fox News Channel.

“Atlanta’s Evening News” returns weekdays 5 – 7 p.m. with
traffic every six minutes led by Captain Herb Emory and the WSB Traffic Team,
continuous breaking news, Atlanta’s most accurate and dependable weather with
Chief Meteorologist Kirk Mellish and fast-paced, urgent commentary from Erick
Erickson on the news Atlanta listeners may have missed while they were working.

Additionally, WSB is proud to continue being Clark Howard’s
Atlanta home. The Clark Howard website
has exploded online as the premiere consumer information center of choice for
most Americans and continues to grow.
Clark’s radio show moves to evenings in Atlanta, 8 p.m. until 10 p.m. Simultaneously, Clark adds CMG News/Talker
WDBO in Orlando as his live flagship station beginning Oct. 1 from 1 to 3
p.m. The Clark Howard Show also
continues in national syndication on CMG stations WHIO in Dayton, Ohio, WOKV in
Jacksonville, Fla. and KRMG in Tulsa, Okla., in addition to some 200 additional
affiliates.

“When we discovered
Clark Howard’s 600,000 monthly podcast downloads and the millions of page views
to www.clarkhoward.com, we knew the Clark Howard brand had grown much larger
than his radio show,” Reed said. “He’s
genuinely an ‘on demand’ product, and his audience routinely goes to his
website first."

The News/Talk WSB prime-time schedule effective Oct. 1
includes:

4:30 – 8:30 a.m.
Atlanta’s Morning News with Scott Slade

8:30 a.m. – Noon
Neal Boortz

Noon – 3 p.m. Rush Limbaugh

Following the Clark Howard Show at 8 p.m. will be Adam
Goldfein at 10 p.m. Finally, the Dave
Ramsey Show moves to midnights and weekends on News/Talk WSB.
